Love and Lies：Betrayed By My Alpha Boyfriend

Bethel's Pov.

I was nineteen,but still hasn't found my mate.

I live with my sick mother in the pack,and she always sings in my ears of how she wanted to see me get married before she dies.

She has an unusual disease.

It's been three years since she's been lying on the bed ever since my dad,the alpha's beta,died in the battle between Halzuwood pack and another pack.

I guess the misfortune that comes with it for me was being mateless.

I peeked through the window,as I watched Brian laughs his heart out as Rose circles around him, whilst pulling his arm at intervals.

I could never be enough for him.

I shut the curtain.

Yes,I don't have a mate, but I do have a boyfriend and that's him - Brian,our future Alpha.

I felt pain stroke my heart,and I heaved out a deep breath.

I moved to where my mother was lying down,her dull eyes on the ceiling.

"You should try to eat,mother,"I uttered, grabbing the plate of cooked green vegetables.

Her eyes rolled over to me,her chest moving up in a heavy sigh.

"Bethel,"she drawled.

I knew what was coming after that, so I just glanced down at the food,as i shove the spoon around in it.

"You'll be getting married five days from now. May the moon goddess bless you with heaps of happiness. I..."

"Mom,"I cut her off, finally looking up.

"My wedding is still ages to go. Just focus on getting better these days, so you can be present - that alone would be a big joy for me,hm?"

She looked at me for a while before nodding.

"If it was not for that war,if the rogues didn't attacked us bac–"she suddenly paused,as if she'd said something she shouldn't have.

"Wha..what do you mean by... rogues mom? Didn't dad got killed in the fight?"i was confused.

I earnestly hoped it wouldn't be that I've been deceived for years!

Mom didn't say anything. When I tried to ask another question,she cleared her voice.

"Uhm! I guess I have to eat."shs struggled to sit up,and I snorts.

So, she isn't going to say anything then?

..

After feeding mom,I helped her lie down back,urging her to take some sleep.

She's been awake since four am.

Only Diana goddess knows the stone in her heart..

She was sick,and yet thinking too much!

I've tried so many ways to cheer her up,even fulfilling her wish of seeing me get married, but she still remained the same.

There's always this expression of regret,guilt and.. sometimes,I see her look at Brian with hatred.

I want to believe that's my misbelief though.

My mind flashed back to the question she asked me a week ago.

"Do you love that boy so much?"

I had been reluctant to respond.

Of course,I love him. But that's not the same answer that would be for Brian.

I'm just a low woman that begged for his emotions.

A beggar of love.

"Of course I do. He loves me so much too, don't you see? We're so perfectly made for each other,moma.

I think even the goddess agrees because on the night we confessed our feelings for each other,there was a briiiight star that shoots out.. as if giving us its blessings to date.

I have a feeling he's my mate!"i had responded with so much enthusiasm.

After many months,I saw a small smile on mom's face.

She was happy!

And,i couldn't bring myself to ruin her happiness.

Let's just keep the act going.

Brian will pretend to love me,and I in return will teach him my three - vicious flower moves that could kill tens of wolves,far or near.

I left the room. It was time for our training.

I got to his quarters and heard laughter coming out from there.

I gnashed my teeth together.

Rose must really be his sweetheart!

"Brian! Come out here!"I hollered.

I heard him groan before his door was threw opened and he struts out with a frown deep rooted in between his brows

"I wondered what dog was shouting. Turns out it was you,Bethel. Your loud voice alone is enough to sound the war's bell."Rose jested,popping her donut - like face behind him.

That termite!

"Is it time yet?"Brian asked.

"Obviously."I tried to roll my eyes but stopped after seeing the snarky look on his handsome face.

"Maybe you can come later? I'm helping Rose with something."

Rose clicked her tongue smugly, crossing her arms.

"You heard him. Now scurry off,little ant."she spat.

I turned to Brian and saw he didn't mind her insulting me.

Fvcking awesome.

Our wedding day soon arrived,and I was left standing alone at the venue for hours!

He didn't showed up!

I went home,enraged, only to meet my mom, struggling for her last breaths.

"Mom!"I shook her body,tears rolling down my cheeks.

She uttered few words to me before she died.

I mourned for her alone. Arranged the funeral,and buried her in a good place.

I went back home to pack my luggage,and Brian and Rose walked right in.

I scoffed. "What do you want?"

"Look,I couldn't make it that day,sorry. Rose fell from a chair so I had to be there."

I laughed hysterically.

"Let's put an end to this two to one love story. It's not possible for three of us to be in love"

"What has happened to you,b.."

"Not your business!"I barked at him.

I turned to leave.

"It isn't your fault that her mother is sick,forcing you guys to be in love,Brian.

This is all on her pathetic mom!"Rose remarked.

I turned around swiftly,my palm making contact with her cheeks.
